Operation: The Man, the legend, the next guest

AsTFN May-hemdraws to a close it is only fitting that we end the month with the announcement of another guest. That guest being the Man, the Legend,Geoff Senior. One of the most iconic artists to grace the Transformers comics.

Ever since his artwork first appeared in Transformers UK #42's 'Crisis Of Command' he became a beloved mainstay of the title until the book's conclusion, with his final story being the apocalyptic 'On The Edge Of Extinction', the majority of his body of work being made in collaboration with fellow TFN guest Simon Furman (with whom he co-created long-time fan favourite character Death's Head). With his deceptively simple linework and kinetic storytelling, Geoff has been cited as the inspiration for many artists working on the Transformers professionally today.

When Transformers returned to comics, Geoff found his way back to them as well, through the likes of Generation 2, Titan's Transformers live-action movie books, convention exclusive stories, and most recently IDW's Regeneration One. Outside of Transformers, Geoff has also worked on Action Force/GI Joe, Death's Head, Doctor Who, Dragon's Claws (also co-created with Furman), Zoids, Dark Angel, 2000ad and Judge Dredd: Lawman of the Future.

Don't miss this chance to meet a man who had a hand in many major parts of Transformers history and to get a sketch from the Kirby of Cybertron!

Geoff will be signing autographs and selling artwork from Friday 19th until Sunday 21st August 2016 at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole Hotel at TFNation 2016 - we look forward to seeing you there!

TFNation is extremely pleased to announce that, in partnership with Kapow Toys, the Third Party company Mastermind Creations will be providing a product display at TFNation 2016.

Mastermind Creations, founded in 2009, have been responsible for some of the most popular Third Party Transformers figures in the past seven years. Their Reformatted line includes Hexatron (Sixshot) and Grand Hexatron (Greatshot), Feral Cons/Feral Rex (Predacons/Predaking) and fan-popular characters such as Seraphicus Prominon (Nova Prime) and Spartan (Impactor). The mould used for Azalea (Arcee) has allowed for other Fembots to be represented as figures in the form of Zinnia (Paradron Medic), Eupatorium (Elita One) and Salvia Prominon (Solus Prime). Furthermore, Mastermind Creations have found success with their IDW Comics-inspired DJD figures of Cynicus (Vos), Anarchus (Kaon) and Kultur (Tarn), along with the highly anticipated Carnifex (Overlord).

Mastermind Creations have a long history of creating figures based on Transformers comic designs, from Hearts of Steel to More than Meets the Eye. Now thanks to the folks at Kapow Toys, Mastermind Creations shall be showcasing their existing and future release items at TFNation 2016.

But that’s not all. Along with Mastermind Creations we are also pleased to welcome the amazing Ocular Max to TFNation 2016.

TFNation have posted their latest anouncement which states that TFC Toys will be showcasing new and existing product at the 2016 show which takes place in Birmingham, England. TFC Toys are behind the incredible Hades combiner, based on the Transformers Victory Leo Kaiser / Brestforce figures. We own all four which have been released so far, and they are in must have. Their latest figure, Poseidon, also looks spot on as a giant Seacon combiner.

‪#‎TFNation‬ is proud to announce that TFC TOYS will be providing their first UK product display at TFNation 2016.

Founded in 2008, many feel that TFC Toys started the Combiner Wars with their immensely popular Hercules figure, a giant six robot/construction vehicle gestalt combiner based on Devastator. The release of Hercules would shape the world of Third Party ‪#‎Transformers‬ for years to come, seeing TFC Toys and various other companies produce a multitude of combining robots. Many have speculated that it was the popularity of these Third Party figures which inspired Hasbro into creating the Combiner Wars line. TFC Toys followed up Hercules with Ares (Predacons), Uranos (Aerialbots) and Prometheus (Protectobots).

Their current combiner, Hades (Breastforce), has been touted as the best Third Party combiner figure made so far. If you haven’t made up your mind on Hades TFC Toys will be providing a finished sample as part of their display. Following Hades their latest announced figures, Poseidon, are based on the Seacons: a six robot combiner-Targetmaster group which not only features "Scramble City limbs" (interchangeable) but also each figure has their original triple-changing gimmick. TFC Toys will be displaying currently available figures, future releases in the form of prototypes and hard-copies, and also their latest designs and concepts for future figures.

TFNation is extremely excited to welcome TFC Toys to TFNation 2016 and are humbled that they have chosen to showcase their incredible line up to European fans at our show.
